well, well, well..... thats it... this is the end.... the last of the last.... this is part two of part four and last of four!!..... the long shoot delineation of the session with Arif and Tajia comes to a close.... feeling relived, and also feeling a little sad, considering there won't be another blog on this wonderful session from tomorrow... anyway, it was a privilege doing this shoot and also a pleasure writing about it....
part one explored the contrasts and commonalities within a specific context.... part two and part four-A showed conflict.... part three showed contrast of interest; yet respect for each other.... and the last part would show how it all glues together despite all the contrasts and conflicts... its the ultimate thing in a relationship.... a relationship isn't a relationship unless there's emotion in it... this bunch of emotion keeps the wheels rolling for years; decades.... and how does emotion do that?.... yep, that what this part is all about....
now the boring technical stuff.... absolutely nothing more to add to the setting used in the prevision setup.... three-light setup against a black backdrop.... there's always a play of light and shadow.... never tried to shoot the daylight out of moody images.... anyway, would've loved to have a bigger studio to control the light even further... for now, you gotta struggle a bit with it....
the last part of the shoot was on request from Tajia... this was her idea... she had seen similar posing in her parents' old images.... she wanted to relieve that... such a cute idea.... instantly loved it... its always good to listen to photography subjects... you never know they may come up with the best ideas.....
their story was so simple in its nature and so honest that we instantly fell in love with the ideas... its the simplicity of our life's small stories that move us most and also give us the most amount of pleasure.... but we tend to forget them over time... this whole effort was tailor-made for Arif and Tajia so that they can remember those simple stories.... we have dramatised the whole affair and made them part of an experience, which would surely give them a stronger memory.... and to help them remember, the pictures will be at their side... may be years from now, these pictures would be able to bring a bit of smile at the corner of their eyes.... may be...
and oh, those surprises in the images were actual surprises!!... the expressions were dramatised for sure... but those surprises were presented just moments before the shoot... :)
more stories coming up...
